DIR, WR, CIN Karen Yasinsky ANIM Bullseye Art VOCALS Miranda July
After rough play, two boys fall back into their beanbag chairs to be set upon by bugs. They enjoy this. Karen Yasinsky has boy gestures down so well it's scary, way scarier than any old bugs. Her puppet-animated rec room teems with pre-adolescent life revealed in fleeting, eloquent motion. Spencer Parsons

MAKING THINGS MEANINGFUL

UNITED KINGDOM 8:00 VIDEO
DIR Paul Tarrago
The best magicians make their tricks look as natural as walking and as simple to learn as tying your shoes. Paul Tarrago is such a magician, here juggling household mysteries: that fly in the shower, the cinema-historical significance of an old western, and the way everything in the kitchen rotates without aid of hands. He does not distract or divert attention and makes it easy to keep your eye on the ball, but watch for that wry, confidential smile as each bull simply disappears. Spencer Parsons

Public illustrator Ima Plume's two core obsessions inform a series of lectures through evoluntion to entropy.

THE MAGIC KINGDOM

USA 7:00 16 mm
DIR Jim Trainor
This documentary "about the lemurs, monkeys and lesser apes of many lands with animated diagrams to aid our understanding of them, is also a melancholy ode to comforts of home and the safety of cages. Jim Trainor hardly invites you to look into the eyes of a lemur and see yourself staring back, but you may ask who painted your jungle and whether they'll mind you touching it up with a different shade of green. Sublime and heartbreaking. Spencer Parsons
